This integration allows industrial OEMs to use the scanner data directly in PolyWorks|Inspector, enabling users to remain in a single interface while taking advantage of both metrology companies’ advanced inspection capabilities to streamline their processes.
FARO CREAFORM, a business of AMETEK, and global provider of 3D scanning and portable CMM solutions, in collaboration with InnovMetric, the independent software development company that empowers manufacturers of every size to digitally transform their 3D measurement processes, announced today that data acquisition from FARO CREAFORM’s auto-referencing multi-line 3D scanners is now fully integrated into PolyWorks|Inspector. This means that users can now benefit from real-time data visualization and complete dimensional analysis and quality control toolbox during acquisition.
This integration was developed in direct response to customer feedback. Many industrial OEMs, already standardized on PolyWorks|Inspector for dimensional inspection, have emphasized the importance of maintaining established workflows and minimizing disruptions. By enabling direct data acquisition in PolyWorks|Inspector, FARO CREAFORM and InnovMetric ensure that InnovMetric customers can keep leveraging the complete suite of tools and functionalities they trust while benefiting from advanced scanning capabilities. This latest example of synergy between the two companies also means that organizations can now upgrade their in-line metrology measurement devices, while maintaining procedural compliance and continuity.
This seamless integration offers significant advantages:
· Reduced learning curve: Operators no longer need to switch between different software platforms or adapt to new interfaces, cutting training time and accelerating onboarding.
· Faster time to production: By leveraging operator expertise, established processes, and metrology-grade handheld 3D scanners, manufacturers can reach operational efficiency faster.
· Full compatibility: FARO CREAFORM offers auto-referencing multi-line 3D scanner data acquisition fully compatible with PolyWorks|Inspector functionalities, including automatic scan-to-CAD alignment, surface and feature scanning guidance, mixed reality measurement workflows, and automation macro scripts.
